Wouldn't be without one. My first cover was for my navy blue Volvo. Used it for about 6 years, until I sold the car. Current one is for my arctic silver Box. Been using it for 4 years. Neither cover had a lining. Nor were they waterproof. You want the cover to BREATH! No condensation whatsoever. Neither cover scratched, would really been obvious on the Volvo. Car has to be clean before putting on. My Box cover came from Pelican, has elastic sewn into the corners, not unlike a bed sheet or mattress cover. Current cover has plastic covered steel cable which goes through eyelets, at bottom, about midway between front and rear wheels, then runs underneath car. Haven't had one blow off yet. But on occasion front or rear section will become exposed in heavy wind. Mine are washable, then run through the dryer, still looks like new. A non-breathable cover will turn some wax finishes whitish fog like. Like spilled water on a waxed coffee table. Can apply or remove cover in 90 seconds flat. Easy.
